The Cascade Mountains are a familiar part of life in the Pacific Northwest. When I designed this beanie in shades of brown and burnt orange, the palette reminded me of the landscapes that make the Cascades so recognizable during the Autumn season. That’s how the Cascades Beanie got its name.

The stitch pattern is straightforward and perfect for beginners. I created this beanie to be a reliable go-to piece that you can toss on with a flannel, a jacket, or your favorite cozy layers. If you enjoy quick, functional patterns that also look polished, this one is a great fit.

Cascades Beanie Crochet Pattern

Double Brim

Row 1: Ch 19 (21, 23, 25) and work 1 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook and in each ch across. Ch 1 and turn. 18 (20, 22, 24) sts

Rows 2-48 (54, 60, 66): Work 1 sc blo in the 1st st and in each st across. Ch 1 and turn.

Fold the piece so that the short ends meet and slip stitch the last and first row together. You have now formed the brim. Don’t fasten off. We’re going to start the body of the hat by working half double crochet stitches along the top of brim.

Body of Hat

Round 1: Ch 1 and work 1 hdc into each st around the brim for a total of 48 (54, 60, 66) sts.

Remember to place your stitch marker in the 1st stitch of each round. This will help you keep track of when you’re starting a new round.

Rounds 2-6 (8, 10, 12): Work 1 hdc in each st around. 48 (54, 60, 66) st For a shorter beanie, you can work less rounds here.

We will now begin the decrease rounds.

Decrease Rounds

Round 1: *Hdc in 4 sts, hdc2tog over next 2 sts.* Repeat from * to * around. 40 (45, 50, 55) sts

Round 2: Hdc in each st around. 40 (45, 50, 55) sts

Round 3: *Hdc in 3 sts, hdc2tog over next 2 sts.* Repeat from * to * around. 32 (36, 40, 44) sts

Round 4: Hdc in each st around. 32 (36, 40, 44) sts

Round 5: *Hdc in 2 sts, hdc2tog over next 2 sts.* Repeat from * to * around. 24 (27, 30, 33) sts

Round 6: Hdc in each st around. 24 (27, 30, 33) sts

Round 7: *Hdc in st, hdc2tog over next 2 sts.* Repeat from * to * around. 16 (18, 20, 22) sts

Round 8: Hdc2tog around. 8 (9, 10, 11) sts

Close the Hole

Fasten off the yarn, leaving a long tail (about 12 inches) for sewing. After finishing the last round, there will be a hole at the top of your beanie. To close the hole, thread your yarn tail onto a tapestry needle and run it through each of the sts around the opening.

Once you make your way back to where you started, pull the yarn to close the hole. If needed, you can continue to weave the yarn through to secure the top of the beanie. Fasten off and weave in your ends.

I’ve designed this beanie to have minimal bunching at the top which allows you to wear it with or without a pom pom. I purchase my pom poms with an elastic loop to make attaching them quick and easy.

I hope you enjoy wearing your beanie during the colder months!
